About the State Parks Division

Outdoor recreation is a driving force in New Mexico’s economy and State Parks is a key player. Connected to communities statewide, our 35 state parks are often economic drivers for local businesses, towns, and cities. Many rural communities rely on a state park as a major source of economic development.
